It didn't have to be so, but R2 took the story off the rails into a trainwreck.

I believe his main complaint was primarily about not being interested in the direction taken by Akito, not concerns over R2. Quality doesn't appear to be the focus of his argument so far, but simply a question of subject matter.
Ironically enough, moving away from his specific case, perhaps quite a few of the people who share similar sentiments wouldn't mind watching a Code Geass R3 with a resurrected Lelouch instead, even if that's a very bad idea on paper. One which might still come to pass in the long term, of course, but thankfully not yet.
The fact is that Code Geass as a whole was never going to be Gundam in the first place, because their mutual differences in context and appeal happen to be way too large, even without considering that the Universal Century hasn't exactly avoided a number of critical failures or questionable outcomes, in spite of everything else, so I can't really find myself thinking that was ever a possibility.
